Equipment Racks, Stands, and Platforms

This page lists equipment racks in the order of highest price to lowest. The list may or may not be in the order of highest quality to lowest.

That said, also note that equipment racks affect the sound of your components, by transferring structure-borne and air-borne vibrations to the components in different ways, and many of these ways are detrimental to the sound the equipment produces; for example clarity and the ability to generate tight bass are a few among many other often-seen negative affects.

Use the ears, Luke.
